Comments: See ЭСТЯ 7. Most of the Turkic words for 'saliva' are attested late and look like borrowings < Mong. silü-kej; Yak. sil must also be borrowed (because of initial s-), perhaps from Mong. silö-sü (with secondary loss of suffix?). The above forms, however, can be hardly explained as mongolisms.
